        The middle room or seungamoe teungoh is the core of rumoh Aceh and slightly higher than seramoe keu it is called rumoh inong (the main house) and this place is considered sacred because it is very private.

Structure and construction of Rumoh Aceh

        To strengthen Rumah Aceh, the house installation does not use nails, just use the pegs / pegs and rope from rattan as the foundation of the house. stacking rumbia and walls made of boards inside the house are always cold and when heavy rain never sounds noisy. Even Acehnese houses do not use nails and are made of wood, but can last up to hundreds of years. The influence of the confidence of the people of Aceh on the architecture of the house building can be seen in the orientation of the house which is always in the form of elongated from east to west, ie the front facing east and the sacred inside or back in the west. The West's direction reflects the efforts of the Acehnese to build an imaginary line with the Ka'bah in Mecca. In addition, the influence of beliefs can also be seen in the use of its ever-numbered pinnacles, its odd number of rooms, and its odd numbered children. Aside from being a manifestation of community belief and adaptation to its environment, the existence of rumoh Aceh is also to show the social status of its inhabitants.

The existence of a part of space that functions as private spaces, such as rumoh inong, public spaces, such as the front porch, and women's special space, such as the back porch is an attempt to instill and maintain the value of politeness and ethics in the community.
